Health centre coming soon for Battersea residents

A new “state-of-the-art” health centre will open in the Thessaly Road area of Battersea in early 2026 to provide increased healthcare provisions for the area. Wandsworth Council has worked in partnership with the local NHS to deliver the new building with infrastructure investment, using funding from property developers to improve community facilities.

The modern building will house Battersea Fields Practice to replace the existing Thessaly Road branch. The new health centre will be fitted out as a modern primary care facility, “improving health services for residents living in the area, featuring 14 consulting rooms, five treatment rooms, rooms for interviews and groups, and multiple treatment spaces,” Wandsworth said.

Set to open in January 2026, it will provide GP-led healthcare with “flexible space for community health services to meet the diverse needs of the local population.” With increased opening hours, it will also offer nursing, physiotherapy, mental health support, children’s clinics, health checks, blood tests, and minor surgery services.

The existing premises will remain open until services transfer to the new health centre. Registered patients will not have to take any action, they will continue to “experience the same quality of care from the same GPs, other care professionals, and support staff at the new location.”

Battersea Fields’ main practice in Austin Road will remain open to ensure “a seamless transfer” during opening of the new branch in Sleaford Street.
